Publisher Description
The Death of Ivan Ilyich was first published in 1886. It is a novella by Leo Tolstoy. It is one of Tolstoy's most celebrated pieces of late fiction. This work stems in part from Tolstoy's anguished intellectual and spiritual struggles which led to his conversion to Christianity. Central to the story is an examination on the nature of both life and death, and how man can come to terms with death's very inevitability. The novella was acclaimed by Vladimir Nabokov and Mahatma Gandhi as the greatest in the whol
Customer Reviews
HIGH 4
Leo Tolstoy does such an incredible job at creating and showing the mind of a man unravelling. In every fathomable way, the character of Ivan Ilych’s mind, psyche, and health is falling apart. It is such a raw story and Tolstoy does such a convincing and compelling job showing what could happen to someone as unlucky as Ivan Ilych.

This is the full book.
Beware - scam
This is not the full book. It is only the first part of the first chapter. I will dispute the charge on my credit card and hope I get my .99 cents back. I’m sure the book itself is good but this seller should be banned from ibooks
